Couples TherapyAfter an extremely positive reaction to its Valentines Day special, Healthy Hands has figured out that a romantic evening doesnt have to be a one-night affair. Its spa special consists of sending two massage therapists to your home, one for each of you, followed by a gourmet dinner served by a chef; the regular price is $500, but its now $400. Also, a series of twenty massages at the salon is now $1,339 (was $1,440), and a series of twenty at your home is $1,870 (was $2,200).
